Abstract
Systems, methods, and software can be used to transmit data over a radio access technology (RAT). In some aspect, a data transmission using a first radio access technology (RAT) is initiated at a mobile device. A timer is started at a first value. When the timer expires, it is determined that data remains to be transmitted. In response to determining that data remains to be transmitted: the data transmission is suspended, and a search is initiated for a second RAT for transmitting the remaining data. The second RAT provides a higher data rate than the first RAT.
